Predictors of Response to Therapy With Terlipressin and Albumin in Patients With Cirrhosis and Type 1 Hepatorenal Syndrome

Abstract

Serum bilirubin and an early increase in arterial pressure predict response to treatment with terlipressin and albumin in type 1 HRS. Alternative treatment strategies to terlipressin and albumin should be investigated for patients with type 1 HRS and low likelihood of response to vasoconstrictor therapy.
